“𝗠𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴?”

It is completely normal for dogs to not be as interested in engaging with other dogs once they hit maturity. Daycares are full of younger dogs who do not know how to take a hint that their playful advances aren’t wanted. Imagine someone (while being very friendly) coming up and getting right in your face trying to sell you something. You say no thanks but they keep insisting. After a couple friendly dismisses they still insist. Now you’re getting agitated, they try again (all while still being friendly), but you’ve met your limit and snap at them, yelling to just leave you alone, then you slam the door. Five minutes later you get another knock at the door, you open to another friendly person trying to sell you something, THIS TIME, you immediately snap, yell, and slam the door.

As dogs have these encounters more and more, that threshold of how much they take before they snap becomes shorter. So while they were tolerating it before, NOW, their first reaction is to immediately get defensive at whoever comes up. 

This just continues to get worse until someone starts 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴, by either not allowing them to be put into that situation in the first place, or stepping in as soon as they notice something is bothering them.

Had a great time at Melanie Krüger’s seminar on IGP tracking organized by Sheila Iyengar. Learned a bunch, met a badass group of people and snapped some photos of working dogs. Thanks for a warm welcome!
